How to Build a Wedding Website Without Code: RSVP Guide
A wedding website without code is one page that answers where, when, what to wear, and how to say yes. Describe the day, the venues, and the RSVP you want, and Zugo builds it from that text, boots it in a sandbox to check it opens, and publishes it to a live address. A simple build takes about a minute.
Guests do not browse a wedding site, they check it. Someone opens it on a phone in a car park two weeks before the day to find the ceremony time, and the whole design succeeds or fails on that moment.
What do guests actually come to the site for?
Six facts, and everything else is decoration. Date, ceremony address and time, reception address and time, dress code, how to RSVP, and where to stay. If those are more than one scroll apart on a phone, the site is making people work.
The most common failure is burying the address inside a paragraph about how you met. The story is lovely and it is not why anyone opened the page at 8am on the morning of the wedding. Put the practical block first and the romance second.
The second failure is a timeline that stops at the ceremony. Guests are planning a whole day: when to arrive, when food happens, when the taxis should be booked. A rough hour-by-hour list removes more questions from your phone than any other section.
The third is silence about children and plus-ones. Whatever you have decided, saying it plainly on the site is kinder than letting every family work it out from the envelope. It is also the single largest source of RSVP confusion.
What should the prompt say?
Name the couple, the dates, the venues, and the RSVP mechanics. A wedding site is one of the few builds where the content is almost entirely known before you start, so a detailed prompt gets you very close on the first attempt.
Build a one-page wedding website for [names],
[date], in [town].
Sections:
1. Hero: our names, the date, one photo, and a button "RSVP".
2. The day: ceremony at [venue, time], reception at
[venue, time], with a map link for each.
3. Timeline: arrival, ceremony, drinks, dinner, dancing,
carriages, with times.
4. Dress code: [code] with one sentence explaining it.
5. Travel and stay: nearest station, parking, three hotels
with rough prices.
6. RSVP form: name, number of guests, dietary needs,
song request, and a yes or no.
7. FAQ: children, plus-ones, gifts, weather plan.
Design: [palette], one serif for headings, calm and readable
on a phone.
The FAQ block is doing real work. Every question you answer there is a message you do not receive, and at a hundred guests that is a meaningful number of evenings back.
How should the RSVP work?
The choice is between a form that emails you and a form that stores rows. For a wedding, storage wins, because you will count the answers many times over several months.
| Route | What you get | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase table | Every reply as a row you can sort and export | One connection to set up |
| Resend notification | An email per reply in your inbox | Counting sixty emails by hand |
| Both | A list plus a live signal | Two connections |
| Printed cards only | The tradition | No dietary data you can filter |
Set up Supabase and let Resend notify you as replies arrive. When the caterer asks for numbers by Friday, you sort a table instead of scrolling a mailbox. The Supabase connector guide covers the setup, and it takes minutes.
Ask for dietary requirements in the same form. Collecting them later, as a second round of messages, is the single most avoidable piece of wedding admin there is.
What does it cost in credits and time?
A wedding site is a normal single build. It becomes a multi-page platform only if you split the day, travel, and RSVP into separate pages, which most weddings do not need.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| Edit in chat | 3 |
| Single-page build | 6 |
| Multi-page platform, first three pages | 12 |
| Each page beyond the first three | 3 |
| Hi-Fi edit | 6 |
| Hi-Fi build | 12 |
Free gives 5 credits, which is enough to explore but short of the 6 a build costs. A published site starts on Pro at $25 a month with 200 credits, and Business is $99 a month. Hosting is included, which matters here because a wedding site is live for perhaps a year and then becomes a keepsake.
A simple build takes about a minute. Realistically you will spend an hour on the wording and five minutes on the site, which is the correct ratio.
What should you keep off a wedding site?
Restraint is where wedding pages usually go wrong, and each item below has a specific cost.
Autoplaying music. Someone opens the page in an open-plan office. That is the whole argument.
Your full address history and the guest list. A wedding site is public unless you password it, and a public page listing where everyone will be on a specific evening is more information than it looks.
A gift registry as the first thing. Put it low on the page, phrased in one calm sentence. Guests find it when they are looking for it.
Twenty engagement photographs. Three good ones load fast and feel considered. Twenty turns a phone check into a wait, and the wait happens in a car park with one bar of signal. If the images are yours and heavy, export web copies at around 2000 pixels on the long edge before uploading.
How do you publish it and share the link?
Publishing is one action and the site goes live at yournames.zugo.run, which is already a shareable address. Many couples stop there and print that link on the invitation.
If you want annaandsam.com, connect your own domain. It costs a few dollars a year at a registrar and makes the invitation look finished. The custom domain guide lists the DNS records to add and what to expect while they propagate.
Test the finished page on an actual phone before it goes on paper. Tap every map link, submit a test RSVP, and confirm the reply lands where you expect. A printed link to a broken form is the one mistake here that cannot be edited later.
Keep the wording editable, because wedding details change. Every chat edit costs 3 credits, so moving a ceremony time or adding a hotel is a sentence and a few seconds rather than a rebuild.
Where does an AI builder stop for weddings?
Three honest limits.
Guest management at scale is a different product. Seating plans, invitation tracking, and per-guest logins are real application features. Zugo can build them across repeated edits with Supabase, but a dedicated wedding planner tool is better at this today.
Password protection is not a privacy plan. If the details are genuinely sensitive, share them by message rather than publishing them and hoping nobody finds the URL.
The builder does not make the decisions. It writes structure and copy from what you tell it. Whether children are invited, and how you phrase it, is yours to work out.
Inside those limits you get a fast, calm page that answers the six questions and collects the replies in a table. The event site guide covers ticketed events with the same structure, and the photographer site guide is useful if you are building the page for clients rather than yourself.
